China HGS Reports Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 Results -
Revenue and Profit Up by Over 500%
HANZHONG, CHINA – May 13, 2013 – China HGS Real Estate Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSH) (“China
HGS” or the “Company”), a leading regional real estate developer headquartered in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province,
China, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ended March 31, 2013.
Highlights for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2013
| l | Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $19.4 million, an increase of 573.4% from $2.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. |
| l | Total gross floor area (“GFA”) sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 41,474 square meters, more than 7 times from 4,938 square meters sold in the same period of fiscal 2012. |
| l | Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled $5.8 million, a significant increase compared to the net income of $0.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. |
| l | Basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.13, compared to $0.02 for the same periods of last year. |
“We are pleased to report another solid quarter with significantly higher revenues and net income than the same quarter of last year, reflecting a continuous dynamic housing market in Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities and counties, ” commented Mr. Xiaojun Zhu, China HGS’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“China’s State Council recently announced new policies including levying a 20% tax on profits from real estate resales to keep prices from mounting higher the real estate market, with expectations that housing supply in major cities will not be able to meet demands in the short term. The new policies are not targeting at first time home buyers and we believe will have no significant impact on the real estate market in Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities and counties which our company is serving and where most housing purchasers are first time home buyers.” continued Mr. Zhu.
“During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we made good progress on construction of our three on-going projects-Mingzhu Beiyuan, Oriental Pearl Garden, and Yangzhou Pearl Garden. Recently, the Company also received the presale license of Mingzhu Beiyuan, which we expect will facilitate the presales of this development. Once the construction is completed and the presold units are delivered to purchasers, the presales receipts, currently recorded as customer deposits, will contribute to the growth of our bottom line,” concluded Mr. Xiaojun Zhu.
Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2013
Revenues increased by 573.4% to approximately $19.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from approximately $2.9 million for the same period in the last year. The total GFA sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 41,474 square meters, representing over 7 times increase from 4,938 square meters completed and sold for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company completed and delivered two high-rise buildings in Yangzhou Pearl Garden project and recognized $8.2 million in revenue.
Gross profit was approximately $7.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the same period of last year. The overall gross profit as a percentage of real estate sales before sales tax was 39.0%, decreased from 53.7% for the same quarter last year, because most of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were from higher sales of residential apartments and lower sales of parking units which have higher margin than residential apartments..
Total operating expenses increased by 164.9%to $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $0.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase in operating expenses consisted of an increase in selling expense and, general and administration expenses, mainly attributable to more promotions, sales commission, marketing and real estate development activities as well as higher executive compensation, bonus, taxes and office expense. However, as a percentage of total sales, operating expenses declined to 7.3% from 18.6% in the same quarter of last year, demonstrating an improved operating efficiency achieved in this quarter,
The Company reported net income of approximately $5.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to net income of approximately $0.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase of $4.8 million in our net income was primarily due to the increase in revenue.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had total cash and restricted cash balance of approximately $1.9 million, decreased by $0.3 million compared to approximately $2.2 million cash and restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2012.
